AI RECAPIn a thrilling Week 2 matchup of the 2026 season, the Las Vegas Raiders topped the Los Angeles Chargers with a final score of 34-21. The win boosts the Raiders' momentum as they look to establish themselves early in the season, while the Chargers will need to regroup after a disappointing home loss.
Justin Herbert showcased his skills for Los Angeles, throwing for an impressive 330 yards and three touchdowns, with Quentin Johnston leading the receiving corps with 104 yards.
